Touching up UV maps

- [Instructor] In this video we'll…explore another way to touch up color…with Photoshop by editing UV maps.…Now up until now we really haven't talked about…the components that make up our full color mesh.…You might have noticed that when you…exported your files from Meshmixer…there were a bunch of different files.…In addition to the obj we also have these image files.…Now take a look at the 3D panel in Photoshop.…You can see that we have these five texture maps.…

These are all flat image files that are…stretched over our mesh and we can edit…and touch up those flat files.…Alright, let's zoom out.…We'll go up to the Move tool…so we can see our whole lion head.…Now click on the individual texture maps in the 3D panel.…You can see which maps are associated…to what part of our model.…

Let's take a closer look at texture map number one…and up in the properties panel I want you…to go to Diffuse and then choose Edit Texture.…That will open the png file for us to edit.…Now in the properties panel let's check UV Overlays.…

New consumer-grade 3D sensors make scanning objects easy. And with 3D printers, you can turn those scans into miniature replicas. In this course, Kacie Hultgren guides you through the process of creating a 3D scan that's ready for printing. Kacie shows you how to take photos of your subject and process those images using ReCap and ReMake. She uses the free software Meshmixer to demonstrate how to repair and enhance scans. Then, she takes you through the steps of 3D printing, whether you are using MakerBot to print or ordering from 3D-printing service like Shapeways. Kacie also walks through using Photoshop for full color processing of scans.
